21st-Century Toy Storage

These storage containers are presentable enough to set in rows on the floor or on shelves, and portable enough to move from room to room. Clear or opaque plastic suitcases or bins with handles and lockable lids store paints, clay, and other messy stuff. Wide, flat boxes slide under a bed -- perfect for putting away dress-up items and board games. Crayons, colored pencils, and other art supplies can be kept in a tool box or fishing-tackle box.
